Newcastle have signed former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius on a short-term deal following an injury to Karl Darlow.

Eddie Howe had been keen to add a goalkeeper to his squad following the ankle injury suffered by the club's usual second choice behind Nick Pope.

Karius, who was a free agent having been let go by Liverpool this summer, joins the Magpies on a short-term deal until January with an option to extend until the end of the season.
